Dateline: 8th April, 2010
Christopher Cazenove (1945 - 2010) Actor Christopher Cazenove has died at the age of 64. In February he collapsed at his London home and was taken to St Thomas's Hospital where he died yesterday (7th April). Primarily a film and TV actor, he first appeared on screen (uncredited) as Antony's servant in Julius Caesar alongside Marlon Brando and (also uncredited) in There's a Girl in My Soup. He made his name nationally in 1971-2 in the BBC's The Regiment and between 1976 and 1977 in two series of The Duchess of Duke Street. He became internationally known as Ben Carrington in the US mini-series Dynasty (1986-7). He trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and made his professional debut in Man and Superman at the Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, in 1967. A year later he played Hamlet at Pitlochry and in 1970 appeared with Rex Harrison in The Lionel Touch at the Lyric, his first London appearance. A string of films followed, although he never actually took top billing. He returned to British TV in 2001 as assistant deputy commissioner Row Colemore in Judge John Deed. His most recent stage appearance was as Professor Henry Higgins in the National Theatre's production of My Fair Lady, directed by Trevor Nunn, which toured in 2005-6, and his final TV appearance was in Hotel Babylon (BBC 2009).
